The woman, Shannon C. Ferris, 38, of 295 Market St., Brighton, told police that she was locked in the dressing room. But dispatch contacted an employee with Kohl’s remote operation center who reported witnessing the female taking merchandise from the store, according to police.

Police found various articles of clothing from Kohl’s in Ferris’ vehicle, Giorgetti said.

Ferris was arrested and charged with larceny over $1,200, larceny from a building and trespassing. The larceny charges are both felonies, Giorgetti said.

Kohl’s security determined that Ferris entered the store at 9:23 p.m.

“She entered the store before closing and for whatever reason didn’t exit after the business closed,” Giorgetti said.

Ferris set the commercial burglar alarm off when she left the store, Giorgetti said.
